Greetings. I have a X4500 with an 8TB RAIDZ datapool, currently 75% full. I have it carved up into several filesystems. I share out two of the filesystems /datapool/data4 (approx 1.5TB) and /datapool/data5 (approx 3.5TB). THe data is imagery, and the primary application on the PCs is Socetset. The clients are Windows XP Pro, and I use services for unix (SFU) to mount the nfs shares from the thumper. When a client PC accesses files from data4, they come across quickly. When the same client accesses files from data5, the transfer rate comes to a crawl, and sometimes the application times out. The only difference I can see is the size of the volume, the data is all of the same type.
I could find no references for any limitations on the volume size of nfs shares or mounts. It seems inconsistent and difficult to duplicate. I plan to begin a more in-depth troubleshooting of the problem with dtrace. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Thanks. -Bob Bencze -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
